Booking a hotel room
Happy Jack, SASS #20451 replied to Rye Miles #13621's topic in SASS Wire Saloon
Some of you obviously have never stayed in NY, CHI, LA, DA, Phi, etc. I usually am there for a trade show and the cheapest place near the show that isn't a whorehouse is in the 250 to 400 dollar range. I don't care what it costs when I am in Chi or LV I stay at TRUMP hotel !!! -

One of my FAVORITE matches in the old days was The Siege at San Juan It was a hoot every time I shot it. Haven't been for a few years. Try it, you'll like it.

We had a 28 Ft airstream, LOVED it. But can't travel since the stroke and we let it go for MORE money than we paid got it after 15+ years. (It was used, 1 year old when we bought it, they traded it in on a 30ft. one). We towed it for 3 years with a Ford excursion, but we bought a f250 and towed it with that. I would recommend if you are going to tow it with a SUV buy a BIG one. You will add about 100pounds of stuff to the trailer. We weighed ours and averaged 1500 pounds of additional weight over the years.

I have been using that same decapping die for years. Absolutely worth the money. I bought extra pins for it and have never needed one. i have decapped thousands of military crimped 308 and 556 without a single failure.

Sent you several PM's. Smokin Iron before he was removed from his position. Posted on the Wild Bunch Match section a one day 8 Stage Wild Bunch State Championship. As you know to hold a State or higher sanctioned match it has to be at least 10 stages. Go look at the post. This needs to be addressed.

For serious stuff I use Imperial Sizing Wax. Now made by Hornady. Every benchrest shooter has used it exclusively for as long as I can remember. It is also the lube of choice for making wildcat cases.

New Single Action

I handled the prototype revolvers at the SHOT show last week. They were VERY pretty but were NOT smooth to cock. trigger pull was very nice but tough to cock. Maybe they were just over-sprung. The Owner used to work for Colt so I am sure he knows about their trademarks. He said at the show that they would be available by late Summer. Will have to wait and see. (incidentally the company has done the CCH work for Colt for many years so they are certainly legitimate) -
The President of Standard worked for Colt for quite few years. Left about 3 years ago. He was also very familiar with the USFA SAA program. I think they are trying out the market with many different prototypes to see what has interest. They even had a semi-auto Thompson in the booth. Beautiful looking work on all the firearms. I have no idea what will actually happen.

Arched or Flat?
Happy Jack, SASS #20451 replied to Abilene Slim SASS 81783's topic in SASS Wire Saloon
I have many 1911's and some of both. I prefer the arched ones. They seem to point better and fit my hand. -
I just got back from SHOT. I handled the SAA samples they had at the show. It is a legitimate company. They have done the CCH work for Colt for years. The revolvers loked great, BUT they were extremely rough handling and were seriously over=sprung. Should be available by late Summer.
